that really add to the charm of modern (post World War II) golf courses... makes that particular name so appealling.
What are some others?

brother Jeff_Mingay

how about the home of the BC Open - En Joie CC

it looks fancy but it's simply pronounced ENJOY !

rgkeller,
It's not as old/e as:
 Old Brickyard Golf Course, Old Bridge Club, Old Head Golf Links, Old Memorial Golf Club, Olde Atlanta Club, Olde Barnstable Golf Course, Olde Homestead Golf Club, Olde Mill Golf Club, Olde Scotland Golf Course, Olde Town Golf Course, or Olde York Country Club.

Or the following other "Old" or "Olde" courses I have played.
Old Del Monte GC
Old Marsh GC
Old Overton CC
Old Tabby Links
Old Town Club
Old Warson CC
Old Waverly GC
Olde Kinderhook GC
Olde Oaks
Olde Stonewall GC
Oldfield GC (a bit of a stretch)

And I think you have to also count Ol' Colony GC in Tuscaloosa, AL.

And of course last but certainly not least you have to mention the course who's name is simply "Old"....

...The Old Course

"Old Sandwich" has a nice ring to it.

And of all of the "The XXX at YYY" names, I can't think of one that I like.


Since I mentioned it above I had to ask the question here.  Would "The Old Course at St. Andrews" Count?  And if so I assume we might make an exception in this case.
